Success! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Patulous on  Wed Feb 18 11:32 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I posted a message a while ago looking for advice because my 850 wouldn't start. I changed the spark plugs, fuel relay and fuel filter (which was very clogged). Still wouldn't start until I finally followed the simplest advice I had received: clamp down on the rubber hose from the IAC to the intake manifold, and it worked! Thank you all who provided any bit of advice as it was all crucial to this triumph.

Sadly, my woes don't end here. As I was taking a victory lap around the neighborhood, I noticed another problem which I have encountered before: the car wont really "go" when the RPM are low. Could this problem also be attached to the IAC? Has anyone had a similar problem? Any comments are so much appreciated. Thanks!
